The Emacs python-mode for Debian GNU/Linux
------------------------------------------

python-mode.el is an independent, mature Python editing mode for Emacs and
XEmacs. In Debian, we provide this mode in this separate package, taken from
the Launchpad project at https://launchpad.net/python-mode.

python-mode automagically installs itself for use with all supported flavors
of Emacs, according to the Debian emacsen policy. The installation includes
byte-compilation for the installed emacsen flavor and an entry for auto-load,
as suggested in python-mode.el

Although python-mode supports pychecker, that package is no longer available in
Debian starting with buster, since it is unmaintained upstream and requires
Python 2.  The pychecker-related commands still exist in python-mode, but will
fail unless you manually install the pychecker package yourself.  You probably
want to be using pylint anyway, since it's better-maintained and supports
Python 3.
